Welcome to Hitchin a fairtrade town


An increasing number of shops in Hitchin sell fairtrade goods. Buying fairtrade goods helps to ensure a fair price and better conditions for farmers and producers in developing countries.

 

Being a fairtrade town also means that many businesses, schools and churches use fairly traded goods such as tea, coffee etc.

 

To enable you to buy fairtrade goods in Hitchin, check out the shops listed below and enjoy shopping! We would encourage you to ask in all shops, cafes and restaurants for fairtrade products.
